After dry-heaving for ten minutes, Tang Rao finally felt a little better.

"Damn, did you eat shit..." Tang Rao yelled at the Abyssal Worm.

The Abyssal Worm shook its enormous head, indicating it hadn't eaten its own feces...

However, it immediately expressed its willingness to take Tang Rao's suggestion into consideration and try it out later.

"Alright, I'm good now." Tang Rao waved his hand, signaling for the Abyssal Worm to leave. This thing was really disgusting. Thinking about it, among all the extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, it seemed that the Abyssal Worm was the most unsightly one.

Receiving Tang Rao's command, the Abyssal Worm didn't say anything further and directly burrowed into the ground.

"I gotta find a place to wash off this stink." Tang Rao muttered, then looked around.

"⊙０⊙"

Where am I?

It seems really awesome here, even more upscale than the banquet hall I was in just now.

In front of Tang Rao stood a true palace, with what seemed like thousands of stairs leading straight into the clouds.

And that super luxurious palace perched at that high place.

"Let's check it out; a place this fancy must have a pool." Tang Rao muttered to himself and then proceeded toward the staircase.

Thousands of steps, that's really exhausting.

And it looked like an Array had been set up around here, interfering with the spiritual embryo, making it impossible to Gather Spirit.

Therefore, one could only rely on physical strength to go up.

Reaching the top of the cloud-reaching stairs, Tang Rao rolled his eyes in exhaustion.

The stench brought by the Abyssal Worm mixed with sweat, tsk tsk tsk, was truly remarkable!

With this smell, find someone you don't like and just give them a hug; I guarantee they won't dare mess with you again.

"Anybody here?" Tang Rao called out.

No response, eerily quiet.

"Then I'm coming in!" Tang Rao shouted again, still no one paid him any mind.

Well then...

Since it's like this, Tang Rao didn't stand on ceremony, swung his arms, and swaggered toward the palace's main entrance.

"It's magnificent indeed, feels almost as grand as my palace back in the day." Tang Rao muttered, you guys aren't great in terms of strength, but you're really something when it comes to building.

Such a huge palace, how much manpower and resources must it have consumed?

Entering the palace led directly to a grand hall. No one was inside but it was quite cool. Maybe it had air conditioning.

It's worth mentioning that electricity was available here.

But only major forces like the Nine Deaths Undying ones had the authority to use it.

The average residents couldn't even touch it.

After staying in the grand hall for a while, Tang Rao walked through a side door, crossed a doorway, and entered the inner courtyard.

The yard was huge, very primitive, resembling a small wilderness.

In the middle of the yard, there was a bamboo grove with the sound of flowing water echoing through it.

Hearing the sound of water, Tang Rao became ecstatic; he could take a bath.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh, Tang Rao didn't care about anything, as he dashed toward the bamboo grove while starting to rip off his clothes.

Not even his pants remained.

Splash!

Tang Rao crossed the bamboo grove and plunged into the water.

Refreshing, extraordinarily refreshing.

"Ah..." In the pool, Tang Rao involuntarily let out a moan ~~ clearly too pleased.

"I'm like a little fish in your lotus pond..." Tang Rao hummed and sang a tune.

Why am I singing this song? I have no idea...

A few minutes later, Tang Rao felt the need to wash his hair too, so he dove into the pool.

Just as he was about to come out, Tang Rao heard footsteps.

Damn! Someone's here!

Tang Rao instinctively wanted to surface, but in the end, he stayed submerged.

Using someone else's pool without permission was obviously not great. If the other party had a bad temper, trouble could ensue.

So, he decided to hide and wait for the person to leave before quietly slipping away.

Let me leave quietly, as if I was never here.

"Splash!" A sound of water came.

Under the water, Tang Rao's eyes bulged, you bastard... Is she going to bathe too?

Instinctively, Tang Rao looked towards the direction of the sound. Pristine jade legs swayed in the water.

So white... so slender... so firm...

Don't ask why I can see so clearly underwater, it's simply because my eyes were made for this.

Soon, both legs were submerged in water...

Of course, that wasn't the most thrilling part, the most thrilling part was... there was more...

Tang Rao almost couldn't hold back...

This, I truly didn't mean to peek.

As for why my eyes keep staring, that's because I need to observe the surroundings, in case there are little snakes in the water, I'd have to catch them.

"Hmm hmm hmm... hmm hmm hmm hmm..." A pleasant voice came from above the water.

Clearly, it was that woman's voice, soft and mushy, it sounded very comfortable to listen to.

"Swoosh... swoosh..." Suddenly, the woman started swimming.

Tang Rao held back with all his might, absolutely cannot make any sound, absolutely cannot be discovered.

If caught, I'd definitely become her mortal enemy.

But... often, fate doesn't comply with one's desires.

The woman seemed to sense something, her body abruptly stopped, then she burst out of the water with a splash.

"Who dares to intrude!" A fierce roar followed, extremely vicious.

Underwater, Tang Rao swallowed hard.

I'm going to die...

"Courting death!" The next moment, Tang Rao felt a strong surge of Spiritual Energy.

So powerful!

Boom!

Spiritual Energy suddenly plunged into the water.

It was as if the entire pool was boiling over.

Tang Rao could almost hear the pool screaming, crying, and helplessly shouting.

Bang! A muffled sound.

The water in the pool, along with the mud, exploded violently.

Tang Rao immediately lay face up, closed his eyes, reined in his breath, controlled his breathing to be extremely faint, and even deliberately took in a few mouthfuls of water...

Yes, this was his countermeasure: feign death.

For such a situation, this was the only solution Tang Rao could think of.

Staring eye to eye with her and then breaking into a fight if a word disagrees?

If she were weak, Tang Rao wouldn't fear her, he might even flirt back.

But that woman was terrifyingly ferocious, one could feel it from that brutal surge of Spiritual Energy just now, she's at the pinnacle of fusion! Only one step away from the Golden Core Stage.

Fight my ass, playing dead is more reliable.

The Spiritual Energy assault made Tang Rao feel like his body was nearly torn apart.

Too ruthless.

If it weren't for achieving the first layer of the Nine Death Undying Body, I might have been gone with that strike just now.

Thud!

Tang Rao crashed to the ground, spouting water from his mouth, and his body twitched, trying to make it look convincing.

However, he was lying on his back without any clothing on.

So, the scene was a bit awkward.

Quite a sight to behold, cocky to the point of swagger.

"Damn it!" The woman's voice came through, filled with intense anger.

It seemed like she was ready to tear Tang Rao into pieces at any moment.

Tang Rao's heart also clenched tightly, ready to run at the first sign of trouble.

Although the chances of escaping were slim, he couldn't just wait for death.
